Create Interactive Reports with .NET Report Designers

The Telerik Report Designer for Visual Studio is specially created for developers that prefer VS for report authoring. It works with .NET type report definitions (.CS or .VB files).

You can add and edit charts, tables and groups, fill them with data, calculate values, style, preview, share and export the ready reports. Report designer canvas simulates graph paper and represents the actual layout of the report elements as they would appear on a printed sheet of paper. It contains grid-lines, item snapping for perfect positioning, on-canvas item dimensions and pixel-perfect rendering.

You can localize the report using Visual Studio report designer.
Reports stored in a class library and are embedded and distributed in .NET or touch-enabled mobile applications.

Web Report Designer, featuring an easy to use environment, is one of the latest gems of Telerik Reporting. It has fine-graded drag-and-drop functionality to layout and re-parent all items and sections. It has a toolbox to add a new item instance of all supported types. It has a Report Explorer pane that gives a great view of the report structure, plus it now incorporates the Data Source components into it. And finally, you have a well thought out Properties pane that is much more user-friendly than the one from the Visual Studio IDE that we are all accustomed to. Once done with the necessary edits, you can examine the rendered report using the built-in report preview functionality.
With the latest releases we have invested in the active development of the web report designer and now it is fully functional and on a par with the Desktop report designer.

The Web Report Designer is now ready-to-use in all common and multiple advanced user scenarios, enhanced with the following features:

• Add full ObjectDataSource support to consume server-side business objects data. There is a Wizard tool to set it up flawlessly.
• Report definitions can now be uploaded from local files to your reports’ repository. The opposite is enabled as well, so you may download a server-side report definition to a local file.
• Multiple property editors got improvements and fixes.
• Add Bring to front / Send to back commands.
